Sustainability

A full renovation and restoration of the Arthur D. Little Building was completed in August 2011. This project, a key element of MIT’s strategic campus renewal, safeguarded an historic structure by making it compatible with the needs of today’s MIT educators and administrators.

The building, originally constructed in 1916, now serves as headquarters for the dean of the MIT Sloan School of Management and other Sloan administrative groups. Its renovation integrated the building’s landmark historic qualities with sustainable design strategies such as heat recovery, low-energy lighting, and high-performance spray foam insulation and has achieved LEED Gold certification. In addition, Building E60 now connects to MIT Sloan's new building, Building E62, the home of the Porter Center for Management Education.

This comprehensive renovation and restoration project won a preservation award from the Cambridge Historic Commission. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark.
